Hi guys firstly sorry about the drawing but quick sketches .
right I have a four foot by 2.5ft deep tank .
I have drawn two options for the plumbing setup but I’m unsure which one would give me the best flow rates or if there would be much difference at all .
Option A runs one pump with two bypasses for the co2 and heat .
Option B runs two identical pumps but uses one intake and one spray bar I’m assuming that matching the pumps and same length piping would give me double the output from spray bar ( more holes than option A ) thus overall greater circulation in the tank and check valves would stop any back flow if there was mismatched flow rates.
Both option will use hard PVC pipe with homemade full length spray bars stacked on top of each other .
any comments would be greatly appreaciated
thanks
